All glory in this life, and even in the next one, belongs to the Lord. When we receive acclaim for our work for the Kingdom of God, we should direct it to God and not hang on to it for ourselves. It is only by His grace that we are able to achieve anything in the proclamation of the Gospel. Similarly, without the grace of God we would never achieve anything in the world either. Let us be mindful of and grateful for the way that God sustains and blesses us daily.
